Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp. This can be done in a toaster, under a broiler, or in a hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add the fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Using a fork, gently mash the avocado to your desired consistency. For a better texture, leave some small chunks.
Once the toast is ready, place it on a plate. Immediately spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice, going all the way to the edges.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with red chili flakes (if using). Serve immediately for the best experience.
